Supplier Quote Comparison

Compare bagged, bulk and weight-based offers with order increments, minimum loads, delivery, tax and surplus.

Compare the full order for the same material specification. All calculations run in this browser.

Method and assumptions

Order units = required yards ÷ yards per selling unit, raised to the minimum load, then rounded up to the order increment. Total = material + delivery + extras + entered tax. Cost per needed yard includes the cost of surplus. Do not compare different products as interchangeable.

Worked example: 2 yd³ with 0.5 yd³ increments at 40 per yard and 30 delivery totals 110 before tax. A minimum of 3 yd³ raises that total to 150.
